Chapter 1: What are the current efforts to avoid a government shutdown?
Trying to avoid a government shutdown. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. That's what Republicans are trying to do as Congress nears a government funding deadline. Fox's Ryan Schmelz with the details for us this morning.
Florida Republican Congressman Greg Stubbe on the Fox Business Network's Mornings with Maria says the Senate should bypass the 60 vote threshold needed to break the filibuster on a Republican plan to keep the government open. Why should Chuck Schumer determine and negotiate what happens to the American people when we have the majority?
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wants certain health care provisions attached to the package to get votes from Democrats. Republicans argue those issues should be dealt with separately. The government funding deadline is September 30th. In Washington, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News.
Former FBI Director James Comey indicted on allegations of making a false statement and obstruction of justice related to testimony he gave before a Senate committee in 2020 regarding the Bureau's handling of the initial Trump-Russia probe. Comey reacting in a video on Instagram Thursday night.
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial. And keep the faith.
Fox's David Spunt with more.
The Attorney General of the United States just posting on X, no one is above the law. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case. James Comey has been on the radar of President Trump for years.
He was the FBI director when President Trump came to Washington in January 2017. And Comey was out of a job by that summer. And since then, he's been a thorn in the side of President Trump. And President Trump has mentioned Comey dozens and dozens of times since 2017.
